The electrical insulation design of 600 kJ conduction cooled high-Tc superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) have been studied in this paper. The high voltage is applied to both ends of magnet of high-Tc SMES by quench or energy discharge. Therefore. the insulation design of the high voltage needs for commercialization. stability. reliability and so on. In this study. we analyzed the insulation composition of a high-Tc SMES. and investigated about the insulation characteristics of the materials such as Kapton. AIN. $Al_2O_3$. GFRP and vacuum in cryogenic temperature. Base on these results. the insulation design for 600 kJ conduction cooled high-Tc SMES was performed.

Continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converters are commonly used in home appliances and various industries because of their simple topology and low input current ripples. However, these converters suffer from several disadvantages, such as hard switching of the active switch and reverse recovery problems of the output diode. These disadvantages increase voltage stresses across the switch and output diode and thus contribute to switching losses and electromagnetic interference. A new topology is presented in this work to improve the switching characteristics of CCM boost converters. Zero-current turn-on and zero-voltage turn-off are achieved for the active switches. The reverse-recovery current is reduced by soft turning-off the output diode. In addition, an input current sensorless control is applied to the proposed topology by pre-calculating the duty cycles of the active switches. Power factor correction is thus achieved with less effort than that required in the traditional method. Simulation and experimental results verify the soft-switching characteristics of the proposed topology and the effectiveness of the proposed input current sensorless control.

In this paper, we have investigated the characteristics of electrical conduction and photoconduction in LDPE. The electrical conduction characteristics of LDPE have been investigated at electric fields of 50 to 500 kV/cm and at temperatures of 25, $50^{\circ}C$. The photoconduction in LDPE induced by vacuum ultraviolet light irradiation have been investigated at electric fields 100, 200 kV/cm and at temperatures of 25, $50^{\circ}C$.

In this paper in order to evaluat quantitavely the formation mechanism of space charge and its effects on the conduction characteristics in LDPE we have carried out the numerical analysis on the basis of experimental results of space charge distribution cathode field and current with time which had been simultaneously measured at applied field of 50kV/mm and room temperature. As the models for numerical analysis we employ the Richarson-Schottky theory for charge injection from electrode into LDPE and the band-tail conduction at crystalline regions and the hopping conduction by traps which mainly exist at the interface regions of crystalline-amorphous region for charge transport in LDPE. Futhermore in order to investigate the influence of physical parameters on the time characteristcs of space charge distribution and measured current we have changed the values of trap density activation energies for charge injection and transport and have analyzed their effects.

It has been known that D.C. breakdown Voltage is lower than A.C. breakdown Voltage in insulatingoil, but there are still many unvivid points at electric conduction in breakdown or under of high electric field. This study measured the electric current-electric field characteristics (I-E characteristics) and the breakdown Voltage under of D.C. electric field of insulating oil using the system of electrodes that are near the Uniform electric field with a result. I can study, electric conduction in area of high electric field depends upon the Schottky effect. The liquidity of breakdown electric field takes place by the local concentration of electric field. The longer gap is and the more electric current is the more breakdown Voltage decreased. There are not almost the change of electric current-electric field characteristics by materials of electrode.

The correlation between electrical conduction and dielectric relaxation properties of copper ion conducting glasses is discussed. The glasses were prepared in the system $CuI-Cu_2S-Cu_2O-MoO_3$ using rapid quenching technique. These glasses have high ionic conductivities at room temperature in the range of $10^{\circ}$[S/m], and the conductivities increase with increasing CuI content. The activation energies for conduction are 0.26 - 0.57 eV. The dielectric relaxation times are 1 - 10uS, and the activation energy for ion jumping are 0.18 - 0.41eV. It is shown that the tendency of conduction properties depending on composition of the glass is similar those of dilectric relaxation.

Electrical conduction characteristics of Polyethylene/Ethylene vinyl acetate blends of varing vinyl acetate content(1% and 4%) were investigated at electric fields ranging from 10$\^$6/ to 10.$\^$8/ V/cm over the temperature range of 30 and 85$^{\circ}C$. It was obser-ved that the extent of current density was changed at the blends and the rate of change of current den-sity was slightly suppressed at high field range, but PE and EVA were not shown. The change of con-duction characteristics and a suppression in rate of change of current density were attributed to the VA content in PE.EVA blends.

In this paper, we investigated the electrical characteristics which is d.c. and a.c. conductivity of the amorphous Te$_{80}$Se$_{10}$Sb$_{10}$thin film prepared by thermal evaporation. As the results, the d.c. conduction mechanism was followed thermally activated conduction and from the data of d.c. conductivity, the acti-vation energy and mobility gap were obtained. the d.c. conductivity was increased with temperature and a.c. conductivity also was increased with temperature and frequency. It can consider that the annealing is indispensable for higher conductivity since the activation energy decreased but d.c. and a.c. conductivity increased with annealing.aling.

The effects of oxygen partial pressure and vacuum annealing on the electrical properties of sputtered vanadium oxide($VO_x$) thin films were investigated. The thin films were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering from $V_2O_5$ target in a gas mixture of argon and oxygen. The oxygen/(oxygen+argon) partial pressure ratio of 0% and 8% is adopted. Electrical properties of films sputter-deposited under different oxygen gas pressures and in situ annealed in vacuum at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1h and 4h are characterized through electrical conductivity measurements. I-V characteristics were distinguished between linear and nonlinear region. In the low field region the conduction is due to Schottky emission, while at high fields it changes to Fowler-Nordheim tunneling type conduction. The conductivity measurements have shown an Arrhenius dependence of the conductivity on the temperature.
